My Wild and Sleepless Nights: A Mother's Story

Clover Stroud
4.07/5 (863 ratings)
Read Now Download Now
'Clover Stroud is a remarkable woman, and an incredible writer.' - Bryony Gordon
'Clover Stroud is a born writer: honest, tender, moving and true.' - Cressida Connolly

My Wild and Sleepless Nights explores what it means to be a mother: the way that children and motherhood changes women - both strengthening and weakening a woman's sense of identity. And it details how Clover, the mother of five children aged from one to seventeen, has navigated motherhood across two decades, both losing and finding herself.
Unflinching, brutally honest, just as Rachel Cusk's A Life's Work was and no book has been since, but with a wholly different tone and story to tell - this is a book for all mothers, from those just exploring the idea to those who have just given birth but also those whose children are beginning to leave: it is a lyrical, funny, painful, sexy, moving and consoling look at the tension that exists between wanting to be a good mother, while holding on to the person with all the desires and longings you had before.
